Oh, well - it wouldn't have been a 'first review' if there weren't a couple of small mistakes here and there  I can give you access to the editor and you can change it yourself  Just PM me a password that you want to use and I'll set you up.

CineMax wrote one of the funniest reviews for this web site that wasn't drowned by profane language. I may search out this movie just so I can watch it and follow his review. Writing a review of a bad movie that makes me yearn to watch to see is a great feat!
And eventually I will need to cease lurking in the forums and actually write something again.

Thanks, Dave  On reflection, while I'm flattered that the majority of you found the review to be quite entertaining and funny, but I am seriously considering changing the writing style for the future review. Like LaughingMan said, the TGWTG formula is quite easy and comfortable to use, but after reading the review one more time I realized that a lot of stuff I originally wanted to delivered in my review, while WAS written there in one way or another, but not in the way I originally wanted it. I've still got to decide on what categories to segregate my review, but rest assured that the future projects are going to be more analytical and constructive. Doesn't mean there's not going to be any humour or my traditional snarky review style

So what kind of format did you want to write the Jumper review in? Do you mean like broken down more, or more details, or what? Not like I am concerned or anything, just curious.

...Good question  Honestly, I just can't put my finger on it right now. It's just another one of those cases when I'm proud and really engrossed in some project, but after it's released and some time has passed, I immediately grow colder to it and even dismiss it as sub-par, only to promise myself that next time I'll do better and start working on the next project even harder. (Sadly, while proven to be quite useful as an incentive, this bizarre habit of mines really starts getting on my nerves  ). If anything, it's probably the TGWTG formula that's repulsing me right now. I mean, while the formula works just fine in MM 'cos of the subject material I'm dealing with there (I honestly doubt someone can talk about Asylum movies without making fun out of all of their stupidity), but I just want my written reviews to be more analytical and constructive (while still entertaining, mind) rather than just mindless shits and giggles. I know I'm probably making a big fuss out of it, but that's just how my sick mind works
